- Torah and Jewish Thought
- Observing Mitzvot & Repentence
- Principles of Mitzva Observance
Question
I was wondering what comes first or what is more important - Pidyon Shvuyim freeing Jonathan Pollard from Jail (his health isn’t doing so well) or fighting to stop the disangagment of Gush Katif and the Shomron?
Answer
I believe each person should place efforts in the place one feels one can do the most good. There are many Mitzvot to do, and it is hard to generalize what comes first.
